Our story
Safety shouldn't cost her dignity.
Liacare exists because the person we love most said no to every camera, every wearable, every check-in device — and he was right to. So we're building the one he'd say yes to.

My grandfather is the proudest man I know. When his health began to fail, we offered him every technology that promised to keep him safe — cameras, sensors, wearable buttons. He refused them all. His home was his home. Not a hospital ward. Not a surveillance zone.
We respected his choice. And because nothing was watching over him, help came late when he needed it most. His health never fully recovered. Today he lives with two full-time caregivers — the very loss of independence he feared all along.
For a long time I thought he'd made the wrong call. He hadn't. The products were wrong. Every single one asked him to trade his privacy for his safety — and millions of parents quietly make the same refusal every day.
I've spent my career building products from zero: a CES-awarded consumer device, 500+ days on factory floors in Asia, software used by tens of millions of people. Liacare is the first thing I've built that I needed years before I knew how to make it — a safety net with no cameras on the walls, alerts verified inside the home, and a lens that stays mechanically sealed until the moment it's truly needed.
It's the device my grandfather would have said yes to. That's the entire spec.
“He wasn't wrong to refuse.
The products were wrong.”
No cameras on walls. Radar that can't take a picture. Falls verified locally — the cloud is never in the loop during a crisis. The Rover's lens stays sealed behind a mechanical shutter until an emergency is confirmed.
No hospital beige. No panic button on a lanyard. Liacare looks like premium home decor because that's what it has to be — a device a proud parent accepts into their living room, not a reminder of their age.
A dropped book is not an emergency. Every alert passes three local verification steps before your phone rings — so when it does ring, you know it matters. We filter the noise; you keep your peace.
No renders here — this is Lia's first working prototype on Anastasia's bench, July 2026. Radar, vision and edge AI, held together by exactly the kind of engineering stubbornness this problem needs.
Hardware zero-to-one operator. CPO at Heatbit — CES Innovation Award honoree, two IoT products shipped to thousands of homes ($2.5M+ revenue). 500+ days on factory floors across Asia. Earlier — software products serving tens of millions of users.
3× Russian RoboCup champion, 2025 Brazilian nationals winner. Builds the full stack — embedded firmware, control systems, CAD, PCB design. Currently hand-building Lia's first working prototype.
Engineers, supply-chain researchers, marketers and community builders — working on Liacare before any salary exists. That's how much this needs to exist.
